Health lies In the direction of practice or functional activity of all bodily organs, skin, stomach, bow-els, bow-els, kidneys, nerves arid , brain. Imperfect Im-perfect functioning of one reacts upon another. The woman who has a "delicate "deli-cate throat" or "chest" is prono to bo the woman whose skin Is neglected, whoso chest and throat are heavily clothed with furs, whose abdomen and extremities nro too thinly clad, whoso climlnattvo functions, bowels, kidneys and skin, are badly performed, and whose oatlng of foodstuffs, either In quantity or quality, are above her needs.

Let thl3 go on and ultimately ulti-mately there may come the actual changes which spell organic disease. As it has beon said before, all are not equally susceptible. Given two people who alike indulge in the same dietary or other Indiscretions, one may escapo any serious trouble, the other may become the victim of Brlght's disease.
